1. Strategic Alignment
- Reference Framework: ORLEN Transition Plan (focus on climate neutrality by 2050).
- PARAMO Role: Improve energy efficiency and increase share of sustainable products.
- Regulatory Context: Ensure compliance with EU Green Deal, REACH, CSRD, and EU Taxonomy.
2. Key Pillars
a) Energy Efficiency
- Conduct comprehensive energy audits across all production units.
- Implement heat recovery systems and optimize steam usage.
- Upgrade steam usage management systems for higher efficiency.
- Introduce digital monitoring for real-time energy consumption tracking.
- Add: Employee training programs for energy management and digital tools.
b) Sustainable Product Portfolio
- Increase production of low-carbon process oils and waxes (define sustainability criteria: bio-based, recycled content, lower carbon footprint).
- Develop and implement sustainable feedstock solutions.
- Develop bituminous solutions with higher sustainability (longer lifespan, lower energy demand).
- Collaborate with R&D for alternative raw materials and circular economy initiatives.
- Add: Explore partnerships for bio-based and recycled raw materials.
3. Targets & Milestones
2026:
- Reduce energy intensity by 5% vs. 2019 baseline.
2030:
- Achieve 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 & 2) vs. 2019 baseline.
- Begin reporting Scope 3 emissions and set reduction targets.
2050:
- Full alignment with ORLEN’s net-zero target.
4. Enablers
